If you weren’t in Dallas and/or didn’t stay until the end of the day to hear Kathleen, then you are in luck. We’ve included the highlights of her speech in this issue. We weren’t able to include her powerpoint slides which provided great visual aids but we think the snippets we’ve included here will give you a good sense of the content. I hope it will leave you as inspired as those of us who were in attendance were (and it didn’t hurt that there was champagne passed when the toast was made at the end). In addition, we have a fun article on a Blackberry® code of conduct. I hope that those of you who are as addicted to yours as I am mine will find it a useful reminder of how we can let technology take over our lives and sometimes we just need to put the device down and enjoy the world around us. Another article in this issue is one I’m extremely excited about (and it’s not just because I wrote it, although I’m pretty proud of that as well). It is a review of the book, Justice Older than the Law: The Life of Dovey Johnson Roundtree. She is one spectacular lady and the book is a fascinating read. I was honored to have the opportunity to interview Katie McCabe, the co- author with Dovey, for this article as well. I commend all of you to read the book and to attend NAWL’s annual meeting in New York in July where Katie will discuss the book on Thursday, July 22 prior to the luncheon. The pictures included in this issue are from some of the great events that NAWL has put on over the past few months, including its Mid-Year Meeting in Dallas, Texas and highlights from its Nights of Giving held in Miami, Florida and Golden Valley, Minnesota.

  • The Freedom Rides of 1961
    The Freedom Rides of 1961 “If history were a neighborhood, slavery would be around the corner and the Freedom Rides would be on your doorstep.” ~ Mike Wiley, writer & director of “The Parchman Hour” Overview Throughout 1961, more than 400 engaged Americans rode south together on the “Freedom Rides.” Young and old, male and female, interracial, and from all over the nation, these peaceful activists risked their lives to challenge segregation laws that were being illegally enforced in public transportation throughout the South. In this lesson, students will learn about this critical period of history, studying the 1961 events within the context of the entire Civil Rights Movement. Through a PowerPoint presentation, deep discussion, examination of primary sources, and watching PBS’s documentary, “The Freedom Riders,” students will gain an understanding of the role of citizens in shaping our nation’s democracy. In culmination, students will work on teams to design a Youth Summit that teaches people their age about the Freedom Rides, as well as inspires them to be active, engaged community members today. Grade High School Essential Questions • Who were the key players in the Freedom Rides and how would you describe their actions? • Why do you think the Freedom Rides attracted so many young college students to participate? • What were volunteers risking by participating in the Freedom Rides? • Why did the Freedom Rides employ nonviolent direct action? • What role did the media play in the Freedom Rides? How does media shape our understanding

For example, African American women fought for civil rights and women’s rights; Native Americans have been leaders in the environmental movement; Latinx Americans and Asian Americans have been in the forefront of immigration reform; the movement for women’s rights began with voting rights, etc. Also, there are large differences in the number and quality of available books about each of the specific protest movements. This is reflected in the number of books in each category of this bibliography. Department of Education and Public Programs, John F.
